        You private day tour of Montreal area sugar shack will start with hotel-motel-airbnb pick up for your group at 9h30am. Your destination is aprox 45 min drive in  a beautiful scenic country side.  March and April are high season months at the Sugar Shack and  your group will  experience real Québec traditions. Here, the maple syrup is produced the old-fashioned way: the tree is tapped with a spout, the sap collected and transported to a traditional evaporator, where it is transformed into maple syrup.

        Spiffing good place.
        We took this private tour with Chris, who had plenty of knowledge and loved a good chat with a motormouth like me! We were picked up from our hotel and taken directly to Mont Tremblant, taking in the scenery along the way. The resort itself is beautiful, we arrived in a bit of a downpour, but with an umbrella provided by Chris, we still had a great time there, it’s just a stunning location, and would love to go back there. Mega highlight was seeing the wildlife along the way, and then a tornado warning alert on the way back, don’t get that in the UK! I’d thoroughly recommend Gankor tours and Chris, hopefully see you again soon mate.

        Did not know what to expect, had a great day!
        I took this tour with my family of four (two young adult children). Our guide was very professional and friendly (we can't remember his name exactly, but he told us he was originally from Romania). We had no idea what to expect from the day. Parc Omega is a wildlife parc with wide open spaces where animals can (in many cases) roam freely. We enjoyed seeing all the animals, but two things stood out: the presentation by staff at the park during the feeding of the wolves, and the feeding of the deer that are all over the park by us from our vehicle. Basically we were provided carrots to feed the deer through the car windows. This was somehow so hilarious that it never got old. I was sad when my carrots ran out. We also really like hotels, so seeing Montebello lodge was really interesting to all of us as it is a really beautiful property.

        Amazing Omega park with Gankor tours
        Chris and Eric took us on the most amazing trip to Omega Parc. We originally had our trip cancelled due to the park closing from bad weather conditions, but Chris was able to find us another day to visit which we are so grateful for. Eric was our guide and he was loads of runs and very knowledgeable. He went out of his way to give us an amazing experience. Highly recommend both this experience and the Gankor tours. Thanks again Chris and Eric 🙂

        Seamless Experience
        My Parc Omega experience with Chris from Ganko Tours was seamless and fun. It was an extremely last minute booking in which he was very helpful with completing the booking. I was picked up directly from the airport so this was my introduction to my trip to Montréal. I would recommend to anyone who’s never been to Parc Omega to use this tour as it’s the best option. Chris is informative and kind hearted. If I would’ve rented a vehicle to try and do Parc Omega by ourselves it could’ve ended with Vehicle damage. Using Ganko Tours you won’t have any of those worries while also just enjoying the ambiance that the park has to offer. Thank you again for the experience and I will be recommending your service to others from the US. Videos aren’t allowed to post on TripAdvisor; So I uploaded via TikTok: @Originally.Different

        A wonderful day away from the city
        We are really glad we decided to do this excursion. Definitely a highlight on our trip. Our guide Andreea was absolutely fantastic on time and really easy to talk to, so the whole drive to the park went fast. She also brought tons of carrots so that we had something to feed the animals. The park itself is just wonderful. So many animals are roaming around. There are places you can step out of the car stretch your feet and have a little walk and get a little closer to the animals. One of my favorites was the wolf habitat. We had a lunch in the park and bought us a little souvenir. Andreea was knowledgeable and could answer all the questions we had.

        Our guide, Chris, saved the day!
        Chatting with our driver/guide, Chris was the highlight of the day. Otherwise, due to poor weather, the death of Queen Elizabeth, and the renovation of the Parliament Buildings, there was not much to do or see in Ottawa.

        Don’t miss Parc Omega!
        Parc Omega is amazing! Interacting with elk, deer and wild boar, watching bison, wolves and bear were incredible. We were unable to visit Montebello Lodge, but that was ok. Andreea was a professional, knowledgable and fun guide. We highly recommend!

        Beautiful village of Mont Tremblant
        We had a wonderful trip to Mont Tremblant. Chris was our driver and he was a safe driver, who was polite and informative. Chris knew a lot about Mont Tremblant and we appreciated his knowledge. Since skiing wasn't an option, we went on a hike and walked through the quaint village. I highly recommend this tour led by Chris.

        Mont Tremblant day visit was BEAUTIFUL
        Chris our driver was extremely friendly and catered to everything we wanted to see and do. Was very helpful letting us know what was available and when. This was an amazing place. I absolutely loved this village. We got very lucky with the great weather and leaves had mostly all turned to the fall colors. Just beautiful. I highly recommend this tour for anyone going to Montreal.

        Excellent day
        I had an accident and I was not able to drive myself. My family has always wanted to visit the Omega Park. A friend gave me the idea to hire a guide and I booked Chris based on the excellent reviews. I was not wrong. Chris picked up my family and drove them to the Omega Park. My girls came back extremely happy at the end of the tour. Seeing the big smiles on their faces, made me very happy. I want to thank Chris again for his professionalism and excellent service. He told me he does tours all over Quebec and for sure, we will book him again. Thanks again Chris!

        Mont Tremblant and Lake Tremblant
        This was one of the best tours I have ever been on. Chris from Gankor Tours was polite, knowledgeable, and gave me plenty of time to explore on my own. The scenery was stunning!

      Chris picked us up in a comfortable SUV. We picked up one other couple. It was so nice to have a semi-private drive to the Sugar Shack, so much better than a large bus group. Chris was knowledgable and very friendly. Learning about the maple syrup process was amazing and the brunch was so good. We loved pouring maple syrup on everything. A highlight was the maple taffy poured on snow. Next time I am in Montreal, I will get in touch with Chris and ask him to take us on another tour. I highly recommend the Sugar Shack tour.

      It was a wonderful cultural, historical and gastronomic experience, highly recommended if you are in the area during the sugar shack period. Chris was a great host in every way, and having just four of us made for a special intimate event. Highly recommended!
